Activities
The activity for 2010
is to respond to the shortlisted books
through Digital Stories.
Make Digital Stories
Digital stories:
- short, personal, multimedia presentations
- created using photos/video with a spoken narrative.
- contain 10-15 images
- have a script of 250 words
- are 2-3 minutes in length
Read Shortlisted Books
The selected books are rich with themes relevant to
students’ lives, which will generate insightful
discussions in your classrooms.
Many things can inspire your digital stories. Responding to one of the book’s themes (like friendship, war, change) is a possible starting point for a retelling, a personal connection or a connection to other books.
